A Serious Accident.

On Monday evening about dusk, an ac-
cident occurred on the pike mile south
of town. that resulted in the painful
bruising of llr. G.. NJ. Best, the principal
of the Graded School, OF this place, and
the dangerous, aud it NAV prove iatal' IN
iurv of Jno. Donavan, young man, ana
wev.known horse dealer of Edinbnrg.
The particulars as far as we can learn are
~ follows: Mr.. Best had ridden out the
road on his bicycle, and was returning
when he met two horse wagon driven
by Mr.. Bonnie Hoover, who. upon hearing
Mr.. Best's call, turned to one side in order
to pass him. Close behind the wagon, but
hidden by it was Donavan and another
man. both on horse back and riding at
full speed, both horses rushing ahead
furouslv under the sharp sting Of the
rapid and incessant application OF the
lash. As they darte around the wagon
in the dim light collision was inevitable,
and Donayan's horse struck Best and his
bcvcle ike a thunderbolt. sending him
living through the ar for fifteen or twenty
feet 10 the roadside where he lay for
few minutes stunned and breathless and
bruised in many places. Donavan who
had shot over bis horse and landed on his
head on the hard turnpike, was lying still
and apparently dead. his skull crushed in
at the left temple, his face and body a
nitiful mass Of bruises, and the bright.
ford blood pouring through his bruised
and blackened lips until it formed a
chastity pool in the road. Physicians ana
others were soon on the ground, and a
CONVEYANCE sent ont from town brought
the injured parties in, Mr.. Best to ms
room in the Shenandoah House, and MI
Donavan, under the prompt and skillini
treatment of Drs. Magruder and Carter
was stretched upon a bed Of suffering IN

anything like a correct opinion as to the
ultimate result. The skull is broken IN az
the left temple and it is feared that a
broken rib may have penetrated the lung
the nature Of the hemo rrhage, which Kept

night and day following the accident ana
at greater or less intervals ever since

Up to the time of this writing 1t u I'M
possible to form an opinion as to the prob
able termination of the case, his condition
being very critical one. His father, Mr..
Lawrence Donavan, and his brother nave
been with him, and he Is also receiving
the kindest attention from Sheriff wight

We learn that Mrs. CofTman, who re-
sided near Moores Store, in this county,
committed suicide few days ago by
cutting her throat with a razor. Our in
formant states that she had been III with
fever but was convalescent, being able to
sit mp. She asked little girl probably
her daughter, who was in the room with
her at the time, to get her razor from a
drawer as she wanted to Trim a corn or
bunlon. The child did so, and as soon as
she turned her back she drew the keen
edge Of the blade across her throat, inflict-
ing a terrible cash through which her life
blood rushed out, leaving her a corpse in a
few minutes. Mrs Cofiman was over forty
years old, and was undoubtedly laboring
under temporary alteration Of mind, the
result Of her recent spell Of fever when
she took her life.

acres, is a solid bed Of beautiful grey mar.

size and quantity. The marble has a fine
grain and is beautifully notified. II is
easily worked, and takes on, with but lit.
tie trouble, very fine polish. We are
satisfied that this discovery will prove Of
great value if fully developed. Mr.. Miller
had a number Of specimens, some in the
rough and some hastily polished, on exhi
bition at the Shenandoah County Fair
where they attracted great deal Of at
tention. Some of these specimens can be
seen by calling at the circuit clerks office
in Woodstock. We also have a polished
specimen at this Office, which we will take
great pleasure in showing to all who want
to examine il.
